Ive never seen a ghost nor do I expect to. However my wife had an experience which might have been. She's not into that kind of thing usually. Its a bit of a long story so bear with me.
Some years ago we bought a old house Woodman's Farm which was built in the late 1500's we were told. It was built for the local gentry's yeoman who looked after the oak forest.
This house had a lovely peaceful feeling about it similar to that in old churches, even I could feel it and visitors often said they felt the same.
Been old the house often needed repairs etc and when that happened we were treated to various odd noises like door latches rattling and bumps and thumps in the night. We used to say " We've upset ghostie again" but I put it down to just structural movement in the old house.
Anyway one night I had gone into London, to an audiocircle meeting as it happens, when my wife was in bed reading with the cat when suddenly the cat sat bolt upright and stared down the corridor. My wife said she looked up and saw what she said was a pair of long black boots walking out of what used to be a room and disappeared down the stairs. No apparition just the boots. I got home soon after and we looked
around but all was peaceful. There were no more incidents though we still got the odd bumps and thumps.
We forgot all about this until last year when a TV program included a visit to a museum about the Civil War which happened in the 17th century in england. Exhibits were shown including a pair of cavalry mans
long boots to which my wife said "That's what I saw though they didnt have buckles like those do ". It turned out that those on show were an officers ones and ordinary cavalry men's ones like for a yeoman were plainer.
We have since visited the museum and she is more convinced than ever that that's what she saw. We moved out of the house a couple of years after the "apparition" not because of that but because it kept
needing so much work. I wonder whether the new occupants have ever seen anything.

I like the idea of the old Greeks that what goes into Hades (no hell or heaven was known) is your shadow. They called it land of the shadow.
I like Greek mythology so much more what then the monotheists were preaching.

really? because a famous pastor said that too that never a hell and heaven before it all end and he said that all will be in hades before it all end
lots of very haunted places in Sacramento.
flood victims/ indian burial grounds/ crime murder locations.
" seeing" ghosts is more a movie thing.
and often " sightings" or seeing things in the corner of your eye.
is normal brain function.
glass or reflective objects like mirrors seem to be only real world.
as ridiculous as ghost stories can be.
there is riverside bar in Sacramento where multiple children drowned
in the River and the Children are often seen in the windows.
that is my only real experience seeing the children in the windows.
I wasnt biased or expecting to see it. Since I did not know about it before hand.
I later found out after talking about it. And was informed it is a common seen
phenomena at that site.
The classic " haunted mirror thing", like bloody mary.
where room is dark then turning on light, you see a figure . that is common brain function
as well. I have seen that many times and it is just a illusion created by brain.
It often appears someone is standing behind you. but very much mimics your reflection.
or often a strange dark face is seen. again the illusion will be similar to your position
in the mirror. As with the windows or actual haunted mirrors the actual visual is not
at all related to just the brain creating more info from your reflection.

I haven't seen a ghost, and don't even believe in them, but I've (possibly) heard one. We were staying in a VERY old house, the living room had odd acoustics, one wall (the opposite side of the room to the window) was curved, in a complete semi circle, and had a void behind it that possibly explains something. Anyway, I was sleeping in the living room, I woke for a bit and heard the rocking chair slide on the carpet. I came out in a cold sweet. There was no way of remembering the location of the chair and comparing it in the morning. I presume it was just my mind playing tricks on me. A work colleague has had two experinces, both were pre-empted by stories told to him before. Since we're day time animals, it would make sense if we were scared of being out in the dark, and that "scaredness" playing with our minds.
Ghosts,spirits,shadow people, demons and angles etc are just beings from higher dimensional plains like 4th and 5th dimensions or higher.
A haunted house had a gap in the doors, wind made it whistle.
News paper in the gap fixed it.
And my father convinced a colleague to wear a lungi, instead of pajamas, handy for exposing. He was scared of ghosts.
It seems ghosts are scared of male genitalia, as they lack those.
So if you see a ghost, take off your clothes. Provided you are male.
And carry some camphor, the smell protects you.

In my eyes our artists are from higher dimensional plains like 6th or 7th dimension - at least.

Thought I saw a ghost once, but it turned out to be an audiophile. The resemblance was uncanny.
I thick some fans have been linked to people seeing ghosts due to low frequencies, perhaps caves/buildings can act as Helmholtz resonator, or as an organ pipe.
It sounds more like wind is making the place creek and groan or the foundation is settling. Structures constantly move there going to make noise.
In my cases I had no related connections to the places.
To non believers try snooping around some places that are said to be haunted or hang out in some graveyard at the witching hour if you have the stones. People who discount the afterlife as silly or nonsense are often the first to squish one out in the back their drawers when something that seems out of the norm occurs.
Yes, the problems of the world will be solved immediately after the last "non-believer" is eliminated.

The real ghosts can be your neighbours, the state and the hidden elites.
